Question
then3verend
So I've been on here for a year, and I've made some friends and pissed some people off, its the internet, that kind of thing happens. This post is a rant and nothing more, if you want to discuss this and want a response, be civil please :)
Making a cdlc is a lot of work. Especially creating a truly authentic custom with full DD support, proper tones and tone volume levels, and 100% accurate tabs across all instruments with vocals synced and added(the tutorial vids are ~ 30 minutes just for 60% of that process).
So what really starts to grind my gears is cdlc that has been made before that
A: the creator that shared it once decided to pull it with the intention of never putting back up again because reasons...
or
B: something tragic or sudden that pulls the author off of this site
For people that fall under reason A. You are all murderers of content. You created something, shared it with people, and you killed it for everyone. I understand some people can piss you off, feel disrespected, or have your content get stolen by someone else. However, once you publish that content, if you don't want anything to do with the cdlc, the site its hosted, some asshole pissed you off, or youre just too frustrated with learning. Whatever the reason may be, you still put a lot of time and effort into making that one song. Do you just want to say F*** that and murder it? because seriously, If i could just kill my free time like that, then say F*** that id rather it have been time spent doing nothing. I'd be living in paradise.
These are some quotes from people I've seen/heard from all around:
"I dont want to share my content SPECIFICALLY with you anymore."
Good, I'm glad the author of the ToolKit or EoF doesn't feel that way, or else you wouldnt be able to make anymore, or update your current ones.
"People keep stealing my own content."
You have the original files right? you know your computer saves the date on that and thats all that you would need to verify that it is your own content.
"People keep ripping on my custom tabs"
Welcome to the internet, people are going to hate it no matter if you're the original artist that wrote the song and you know how its played. Maybe work in a co-op with some people, since a lot of people are creators on this site. who knows? maybe you'll learn a thing or two.
"I'm not getting enough downloads/likes/thanks/support/feedback"
Does it have one download? Good, you made somebody's day better by making this song, you win. They may or may not tell you, but that download says you did.
I'm 100% fully against murdering content thats been shared. If at one time I can download it and tweak it and share it in an open setting, then it shouldn't die. Ever. Period. I see about 10 creators on here today that would be more than happy to restore that song and give your name the full glory and credit as you ride off into the sunset onto your next chapter of your life.
To the people that fall under Reason B:
If you are able to come back or can come back, please dont be pissed if you see your work re-shared. about 95%(oh and by the way the mods can and will delete posts) of the people on here will be more than happy to give you your work back, and hopefully work with you.
It does fall upon us to keep that CDLC alive. I do wish there was a way to archive(I know a couple of them but the selection is limited. all the cdlc(the ,psarc download) ever released, but I believe that would be a massive undertaking that idk if the site itself could handle. I would say there are about 1000 CDLC's(that arent official) that exist that are not on here or are dead. That number should be zero. Thats roughly 500 hours of time that was just wasted. If it takes extra time to revive the cdlc, then revive it.
So I'm taking a stand TODAY against dead CDLC, if I see one that is dead or abandoned, I'm bringing it back and leaving credit if I can. IF you are the original creator, you may have it. I'm tired of watching this and I'm doing something about it.
Sorry for the book, but thanks for reading anyways!
